Death in Venice is
Death in Venice is interesting and sometimes touching, but the story is shallow at best. It's a cheesy film, but it's funny and drawn to a point. And yes, the sex scenes are horrible. The actors spend so much time getting washed or played off screen. And they do a terrible job of it. As for the sex, there are no sex scenes. And then there are the other minor elements. The characters are just manically bad
Death in Venice is a regretful film that the man who made it must have been a very good actor, if only to make it look good. I thought the director had most of the right ideas, but the script was dreadful and the direction was laughable. I don't think the director deserved all the praise he received for this film.
